Me & Ma
I'm turning into a 21st century Ma Ingalls. I can't decide if this is scary or funny, but it's the damn truth. See comparisons below:
Ma: had basket of mending
AJWP: just stitched patch reading "kiss me" onto torn pocket of Petunia's jeans
Ma: went into town every other month to buy dry goods
AJWP: goes to BJ's every other month to buy bulk baby wipes and pickles
Ma: made own cheese from lining of cow's stomach
AJWP: eats lots of cheese
Ma: kept pot of soup warm for Pa
AJWP: burns Crock Pot chili for Petunia
Ma: Motto: "Waste not, want not"
AJWP: Motto: "When in doubt, throw it out"
See what I mean?

You are wicked funny! Ma Ingles has got nothing on you!!
Okay, this totally cracks me up. I heart AJWP!
Dear Ma:
I need a new Sunday dress. Will you please consider taking the beautiful blue polka-dot material you have been saving for your own dress and instead make new matching dresses for me and Mary?
Thanks.
Love,
Laura
Also, that episode makes my heart hurt.
Join me, sister, and we will rule the prairie!
It's a good thing, bein' Ma.
Dear Laura,
I will do no such thing--you must wear red since you have brown hair, and Mary must wear blue since she has blonde hair. That's the rule on the prairie.
love,
Ma
PS--Put your sunbonnet back on.
PPS--Leave that badger alone!
